Media Komunikasi

Abstract

Communication media play a very important role in modern society, both in personal, social, educational and professional contexts. With the rapid development of information technology, communication media are undergoing a significant transformation, creating various new channels that enable faster, more efficient and easier to access information exchange. Communication media includes various forms, such as traditional mass media (television, radio, newspapers) and digital media (internet, social media, messaging applications). The influence of communication media on everyday life is increasing, changing the way people interact, obtain information, and shape public opinion. However, apart from its benefits, communication media also presents challenges, such as the spread of inaccurate or hoax information, negative influences on mental health, and the impact on social relationships between individuals. Therefore, a wise and critical understanding of communication media is very important in utilizing media as a tool to build a more informed and connected society.
